| Joan Blum ~ Perfection and Performance | 10 Sep 2024 | 00:38:49 | |
Perfection in life is a double edged sword. Perfection can lead to excellence and mastery, but it can also lead to obsession and anxiety. In the Pilates community, there is not only a hint of perfectionism but an element of performing, as if on a stage in front of an audience. Joan Blum, our guest, is a 25-year Pilates veteran and former professional dancer. I’ve asked Joan to share her thoughts about the need to be perfect and the need to perform which sadly is often encouraged in different sectors of the Pilates industry. This episode touches on First Generation Pilates teacher, Jay Grimes who recently passed away and who contributed so much in helping to maintain the Contrology system. | |||
| John Vignola ~ Pilates Civilian (Part 2) - Fully recovered | 27 Aug 2024 | 00:48:59 | |
One of the most well received episodes from last season was with John Vignola and if you haven’t heard his first interview, briefly, he spoke about his journey from a severe back injury in the 1990’s to taking a chance with the Pilates Method. He saw many specialists who helped a little or not at all. Then with a few little nudges from me, his SIL (sister in law) he discovered the power of the Method and how it helped him become pain-free. Today, he’s back to talk about his full recovery! And I'd like to add, it's not just because JV is family, his message to all of us is a powerful reminder about committing to our health. Here's to your health! | |||
| Dale Matzkow ~ The Lawrence Hayward story | 23 Apr 2024 | 01:06:32 | |
In the early 1960’s, Joseph and Clara Pilates welcomed an assistant named, Lawrence Hayward into their lives. Lawrence spent so much time with Joe and Clara, documenting Joe’s work that he eventually moved in with them, spending a great deal of time in the Contrology studio. On this first episode of Season 6, we’ll hear new compelling information about Joe’s Contrology system that will make us scratch our heads and think, there’s way more to this Contrology story than most of us have been told. Lawerence himself can’t be here to talk about this part of the Contrology story and so, I’ve asked Dale Matzkow who was a student and close friend of Lawrence’s to share with us his story. | |||
| Howard Sichel ~ Founder of Power Pilates | 22 Jul 2019 | 00:25:47 | |
In 1980, Dr. Sichel graduated from the New York Chiropractic College specializing in applied kinesiology and non-force work and opened an office on the East Side of New York City. Two years later, Dr. Sichel heard about the Pilates method and more specifically, Romana Kryzanowska and the amazing postural improvements her clients were experiencing. It was around that time period when Dr. Sichel saw a photo of himself holding his daughter at her one year birthday party. He took one look at his faulty posture and the very next day he, too, became a Romana student. | |||
| Sonje Mayo ~ First Generation Pilates instructor and Physical therapist discusses Osteoporosis | 20 Jul 2019 | 00:26:05 | |
Sonje Mayo, a Pilates studio owner was very fortunate to meet and study Contrology with Joseph Pilates in 1965 as a young ballet and modern dancer. Both spoke German which established a special bond that endured until his death in 1967 where upon she continued to study with his main disciple, Romana Kryzanowska. Sonje has a background in anatomy and physiology which has given her a unique ability to work with those clients who have or may be prone to osteoporosis which is our topic for this episode. | |||
| Sonia Lopez ~ The Gyrotonic Connection | 20 Jul 2019 | 00:27:02 | |
Is there a connection between Pilates exercises and Gyrotonic exercises? And if so, what is it? In this episode, my guest is Sonia Lopez and she'll answer these questions and explain why she feels Pilates and Gyrotonic marry beautifully and offers both disciplines at her studio, Body Evolutions Fitness Movement Center in Campbell, CA. | |||
| 2023 Season Five Highlight Special | 26 Dec 2023 | 00:32:25 | |

| Anna Shaffer ~ Joe Pilates student/First Generation Pilates teacher | 19 Dec 2023 | 00:38:17 | |
As we close Season 5, it's only fitting that we end with the student who studied with Joe Pilates the longest, Anna Shaffer. As Anna says, proper posture or “proper body alignment” as Joe reminded her throughout her studies, gives you confidence and elegance both physically and psychologically. Anna shares more memories of her time with Joe Pilates. | |||
| Paula Mourin ~ Pilates Ministry | 05 Dec 2023 | 00:51:10 | |
This is a beautiful account of how Joe’s work has helped to heal the body, mind and soul. Today’s episode is a touching one. It involves the church, the prison system and a woman who took her own suffering and discovered how the power of Pilates could save her and others. My guest is Paula M, a new Pilates teacher who offers classes for church members and at a women’s local detention center. Paula refers to these classes as her Pilates ministry and her goal is to bring out the beauty in the broken. What a full circle of Joe’s life. He developed his method while incarcerated and all of these decades later, his work has returned to those who need it the most. | |||
| Sarah King ~ The ELDOA method | 21 Nov 2023 | 00:50:18 | |
Have you heard of a Method called ELDOA? This modality was created by world-renowned osteopath, Guy Voyer who designed it to help bring the body into balance and to heal the spine. Our guest today, Sarah King is a Pilates teacher who teaches Guy Voyer's work to classical Pilates teachers in Berlin, Germany. Sarah has a manual therapy background so it’s no wonder she was drawn to another type of modality that has hints of yoga but also offers it within an osteopathic framework.

| Jennifer Abrams ~ Having Hard Conversations | 07 Nov 2023 | 00:33:21 | |
Teacher’s - Have you ever had a disruptive student? If so, how did you handle this situation? And if you’re a student, have you ever had a teacher you wanted to divorce? Having Hard Conversations by Jennifer Abrams is our guest today and I’ve asked her to talk about how to navigate uncomfortable conversations in our studios. Jennifer is a communications expert, keynote speaker, facilitator and author. | |||
| Gil Hedley ~ The Integral Anatomy experience | 24 Oct 2023 | 00:41:01 | |
Every Monday morning while having my coffee in bed, I log on to my Youtube account and listen and watch Gil Hedley and his Monday morning anatomy offering. Two human forms he respectfully refers to as Anna and Zee, help him share his vast anatomy knowledge. So whether it’s a joint in the body, the heart and lung relationship or the nervous system, Gil’s compassion, wisdom and humor fills my morning. In case you haven’t heard of my guest, Gil Hedley - he is the creator of Integral Anatomy, an online educational platform. For the last 29 years through Hands-On Human Dissection Workshops in the laboratory, worldwide lecture presentations, and online events, Gil has encouraged thousands of fellow "somanauts" to appreciate, explore, and embody the wonders of the human form. | |||
| Jen Murphy ~ The Wall Street Journal: Men Suddenly Feel The Pull of Pilates | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:31:05 | |
Jen Murphy, our guest today writes for the Wall Street Journal and has two columns: What's Your Workout and Anatomy of a Workout. Recently, Jen wrote the WSJ article, Men Suddenly Feel the Pull of Pilates, helping to further promote the reality that the Pilates Method is for every Body. Jen has interviewed public figures from Sarah Palin and the Rev. Al Sharpton to Drew Brees and Lester Holt on their fitness habits. I wanted you, my listeners, to hear Jen’s thoughts on why she thinks it’s taken men so long to embrace Joe’s Method. | |||
| Rayannah Salahuddin & Rachael Gray ~ Pilates for All ~ Leave no one behind | 26 Sep 2023 | 01:05:57 | |
As America continues to grapple with its cultural and racial challenges, our very own Pilates community is still experiencing these divisive issues. In this episode, we hear from Rayannah Salahuddin and Rachel Gray, co-owners of Pilates School San Francisco. Classically trained and eternally curious, Rayannah and Rachael have created a unique business model designed to welcome students who otherwise couldn’t afford Pilates classes and more specifically, those in the black, brown and LGBTQ communities. | |||
| Reiner Grootenhuis ~ Pilates teaching manuals | 12 Sep 2023 | 00:46:32 | |
There has been a flurry of published Pilates manuals coming out of Germany, and more specifically, authored by a Pilates instructor named Reiner Grootenhuis. As a Pilates studio owner, Reiner recognized a need to document Joe’s method in all of its heritage. Reiner has published a number of books, including the well received biography on Carola Trier, one of Joe’s most talented students. | |||
| Blossom Leilani Crawford ~ Kathy Grant disciple | 13 Aug 2024 | 00:44:38 | |
Kathy Grant, a student of Joe Pilates brought so much to the Contrology table. Her inherent love of dance sparkled through even when teaching the mat exercises. She understood the importance of moving with rhythm without controlling the outcome. Please join me as All Things Pilates welcomes Blossom Leilani Crawford, a student of and confidant to Kathy Grant. Blossom is widely known in part because of her teaching online at Pilatesology and Pilates Anytime. | |||
| Sonje Mayo ~ Carrying Joe’s message forward | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:36:31 | |
In this episode, Sonje Mayo, a Pilates educator and physical therapist talks about how she’s combines her experiences as a Joe Pilates student with her physical therapy background. In 2018 when All Things Pilates was a live radio show, Sonje was a guest and I and my listeners learned a bit about her. For instance, we learned about Sonje moving from her South African home to dance in England and then to NewYork City to continue her dance career. She also told us about studying dance at the famed Martha Graham school and how she discovered Joe Pilates. Like many dancers injured and/or simply needing a conditioning method, Sonje found herself at the Controlgoy studio. Over a period of two years she learned the Contrology system from Joe Pilates. Armed with her extensive education, Sonje travels around the world helping Pilates teachers understand how to get the most out of the Method. | |||
| Marcela Zia ~ Empower Pilates Apparatus company | 15 Aug 2023 | 00:38:03 | |
Our guest today is Marcela Zia, a former professional ballet dancer, who now represents Empower Pilates, a classical Pilates apparatus company in Brazil. Based on Joe Pilates original designs, but also responsive to the teachers who use the equipment, this company is the latest in the growing need for quality classical apparatus. When I refer to Joe’s apparatus as “classical” for those who don’t know, it implies that Joe’s designs are carefully preserved with minimal changes, if any. I remember vividly Romana sharing with us that she would monthly or at least regularly, visit the Gratz Industries factory, at that time, in Long Island City, Queens to make sure they were complying with Joe’s specifications. I’ve asked our guest, Marcela to tell us about Empower Pilates, and what the reception has been like especially, here in America. | |||
| Gwen Miller ~ Author, Safe Movement for All Spines | 01 Aug 2023 | 00:48:13 | |
Now part of the Penguin Random House Author club, Gwen Miller is all smiles and is here to share what it’s like to be a new published author. Last season, Gwen helped us understand about various spinal pathologies and how she was preparing for the publication of her upcoming book, Safe Movement for All Spines. Today, I thought we’d like to hear from Gwen again, about how it felt to see her book in print, what the response has been and what she hopes to accomplish with her book. About Darien Gold ~ https://www.dariengold.com | |||
| Pat Guyton & Kevin Bowen ~ If Joe Pilates only knew... | 18 Jul 2023 | 00:58:22 | |
In this episode, we’re going to hear from two very influential Pilates educators, Pat Guyton and Kevin Bowen. You may recall from last season listening to the wonderful Pat Guyton and if you’ve been following me for a few years, you might have heard my radio interview with Kevin Bowen on KPCA-Petaluma. Pat and Kevin have known and worked with each other ever since Kevin founded the Pilates Method Alliance in 2000. And both of my guests have gone on to teach and mentor Pilates teachers around the globe leaving lasting impressions on all of their students. This interview may be somewhat provocative because we’ll be touching on the unrest surrounding the PMA, little known tidbits about the First generation teachers, and the current state of our Pilates community. | |||
| Carrie Miller ~ Pilates and Sound healing | 04 Jul 2023 | 00:36:40 | |
Healing is a word that’s tossed around a lot, even in the Pilates community. But what constitutes healing and how do we know if healing is taking place? There are many paths to healing, and the melodic sound and vibrational quality of crystal bowls is such a path. Here to explain about this growing field is Carrie Miller, a Pilates teacher who teaches Pilates in Scottsdale, Arizona and has added sound healing into her teaching. | |||
| Justin Cottle ~ The Hands | 20 Jun 2023 | 00:52:57 | |
Our hands. How often do you think about your hands and all they do for you each and everyday? We put them to work the moment we get out of bed until we turn the lights off at night. Our hands grab, wave, lift, hold, caress..and in addition, our wrists and arms allow us to practice for example, the Long Stretch series on the Reformer, or the Pull Up on the Wunda chair. Did you know that the forearm alone has over twenty muscles? Though crucial to everyday activities, our hands don’t get all that much attention. Joe understood this and invented devices to help strengthen fingers, hands and wrists. The Hands-Tens-O-meter and the Bean Bag roll up device can be found in many Pilates studios, and who knows what else Joe Pilates would have invented had he lived longer. | |||
| Mary Kelly ~ The Counter Lawsuit | 06 Jun 2023 | 00:30:48 | |
As you may recall, in 2000 the Pilates community experienced a collective sigh as the Pilates trademark was litigated in a court of law. However, this lawsuit resulted in the Pilates name not deemed proprietary. Now, in 2023, there is yet, another Pilates lawsuit pending, and my guest today Mary Kelly is right smack in the middle of it. Boston born, Mary, after discovering Pilates in 2008, went on to certify through Romana’s Pilates in 2016. I’ve asked Mary to share her perhaps cautionary story, and though it may give you pause, it’s important that our community understands what is at stake. | |||
| Season 5 ~ Two weeks and counting! | 23 May 2023 | 00:00:50 | |
Hello Pilates Lovers..Just 2 weeks away until All Things Pilates Season Five launches! And as usual, there are varied topics such as details of a Pilates lawsuit, an author’s new book about the spine, insights into cadavers and a healing modality using crystal bowls for the Pilates student. So mark your calendars for June 6th and be prepared for the provocative, the inspirational and lots and lots of opinions! See you very soon and as always, thank you so much for supporting All Things Pilates! | |||
| 2022 Season Four Highlight Special | 27 Dec 2022 | 00:24:28 | |
During Season Four, you learned about some of our Pilates history, how best to heal from a hip replacement, the emergence of new authors and even advice and tips on how to run a successful studio. As 2022 comes to a close, I’d like to acknowledge all of my podcast guests and to say thank you very much for sharing a little about yourself… | |||
| Mary Bowen ~ The most senior Pilates Elder | 13 Dec 2022 | 00:44:16 | |
As Season Four comes to a close, I thought it only fitting as we began the season with a First Generation Pilates teacher that we book end it with another. She is the most senior of our Pilates elders and is none other than Mary Bowen. Mary has taught the Contrology system for the last forty seven years. She is also a trained Jungian psychoanalyst and cleverly blended the two practices, naming it Pilates Plus Psyche which she continues to teach. Mary shares her wisdom and encouragement to the many generations of Pilates teachers who have come after her. | |||
| Gareth Cornwall, Psychotherapist ~ Joseph H. Pilates, Patient | 30 Jul 2024 | 00:58:36 | |
Many believe it’s the mind that builds the body. Joe Pilates understood this, but did he understand his own mind? On this 100th episode of All Things Pilates, I wanted to present something a little different for you. Last year, Gareth Cornwall, a psychotherapist who is our guest today, sent me an email expressing his appreciation for this podcast. Well, it got me thinking about the role our psychology plays in the health of our body and I wondered how Gareth might have treated someone like Joseph Pilates who experienced so much childhood trauma and adversities later in life. So on this special episode, Gareth will take us through some of the process of what it might have been like had he treated or even just made observations about Joseph Pilates. As Gareth says, “Part of reclaiming life after trauma is a return to control - and certainly 'Contrology' seems to have a really positive impact on that journey. | |||
| Carla Harris ~ Executive Director, Pilates Method Alliance | 29 Nov 2022 | 00:42:47 | |
The Pilates Method Alliance had its beginnings in 2001. Kevin Bowen and Colleen Glenn, both Pilates teachers, shared a mutual interest in preserving Joe’s Method. So they invited Pilates teachers, including the First Generation - Ron Fletcher, Mary Bowen, Kathy Grant, Lolita San Miguel and even Romana Kryzanowska, though she didn’t attend. Also, equipment company owners, Ken Endelman and Moria Stott. They all met in Miami, Florida to form an organization and they set out to create a curriculum that would be the industry’s standard for certifying potential Pilates teachers. The PMA has had its ups and downs but has managed to survive for these last two decades. Enter Carla Harris. Hired in 2021 to step into the executive director role, Carla is determined to take the PMA in another direction that is more reflective of today's Pilates community. | |||
| Roberta Gratz ~ Co-Owner of Gratz Industries (Rebroadcast, 2018) | 15 Nov 2022 | 00:26:30 | |
My guest today is Roberta Gratz, co-owner of Gratz Industries and wife of the late Donald Gratz, whose father Frank along with a business partner opened a custom metal fabrication business Treitel/Gratz in New York City in the 1920’s. When Mr. Tretial moved on, Frank renamed the business Gratz Industries, Inc. and continued to fabricate sculptures, metal furniture and produce industrial design prototypes for many of the worlds top designers. Donald, Frank’s younger son joined his father after finishing college and a stint in the Army. At one point in the mid 1960’s one aspect of their metal furniture business began to slow down leaving room for a unique but untested type of business. | |||
| Pat Guyton ~ In the Elder’s words | 01 Nov 2022 | 01:16:16 | |
Second Generation Pilates instructors, like myself are referred to as such because we’ve had the privilege of learning the Method from one of Joseph Pilates’ disciples. But there are a handful of us who have had the opportunity to work with more than one disciple and and one of those instructor’s is my guest today. Her name is Pat Guyton. Though Pat wouldn’t begin her Pilates journey until 1984, she actually met Bruce King 1976, the first of 3 Joe Pilates disciples that she would eventually, work with. Then in 1992, she met and began learning Pilates with the second disciple, Kathy Grant and then Ron Fletcher in 1995 - these 3 First Generation teachers, among others who studied with Joe, are known to us as the Pilates Elders. Of the three teachers, Ron Fletcher had the biggest impact on Pat. She spent thirteen years working for and along side him. She completed over 90 workshops from 1995 - 2006. So impressed Ron was in Pat’s diligence and hard work, she became a senior teacher, then he named her master teacher as well as an assistant for his Ron Fletcher method. She was also awarded a Certificate of Merit by Ron in 1997 and 2006. | |||
| John Vignola ~ Pilates Civilian | 18 Oct 2022 | 00:44:08 | |
This podcast has featured First Generation Pilates teachers, Second Generation teachers, authors, photographers, equipment owners and even a Pilates historian, but I’ve yet to feature just a regular guy who has taken a liking to the Pilates method. I thought it might be interesting for us to hear from a Pilates civilian, if you will, who also happens to be my BIL - brother-in-law, John Vignola or JV, as everyone calls him. When I was healing from Covid, my sister and JV were so gracious in allowing me to recover at their house. On the days I felt strong enough, I’d work with JV and teach him some of the mat exercises and stretches to help him free up his chronic achy low back. As an lifelong athlete, beginning with high school and college gymnastics, JV spent decades weight training and body building. However, a sports injury he sustained over 28 years ago never fully healed, that is, until I introduced him to the Pilates mat work. Stunned by the immediate results, JV wanted more and joined one of my weekly mat classes. For those of you who may have people in your lives that still think Pilates is really best suited for professional dancers or athletes, please have them listen to this interview. This episode is dedicated to just regular guys and gals, who if interested in devoting time and effort, will get tremendous benefits thru practicing the Pilates Method. You might say, this Method is your true friend with benefits! | |||
| Jonathan Grubb ~ Pilates historian & Camp Knockaloe descendant | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:48:53 | |
Jonathan Grubb, Pilates historian appeared on my show for the first time a couple of years ago. He talked about his history based Facebook page, called, “Joseph’s Legacy - Pilates 100 + which at the time had already attracted five thousand followers. | |||
| Jennifer DeLuca ~ Owner of BodyTonic Pilates Gymnasium and Breast cancer Thriver | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:51:50 | |
Jennifer DeLuca, owner of BodyTonic Pilates Gymnasium in Brooklyn, NY. Jennifer began her Pilates life in 1985 at the esteemed High School for the Performing Arts in New York City. Part of the curriculum was a semester of the Pilates Mat under the tutelage of Nancy Butler. Not exactly wowed by Pilates, Jennifer couldn’t have anticipated how her love of dance and movement would intersect with the Pilates method. | |||
| Gwen Miller ~ Safe Movement for All Spines | 06 Sep 2022 | 00:41:22 | |
There is no machine that man has invented that can compete with the complexity of our own human spine. The Spine is a masterpiece of science and art. A pillared tapestry of bones, muscles, joints, nerves and connective tissue. But sometimes our spines fail us, they either can no longer keep us upright or disease has decreased normal range of motion or there is simply the pain of wear and tear. However, there might be help for these types of issues, and with us to discuss them is Gwen Miller, an integrated therapist who specializes in spinal pathology. Gwen has developed, written and taught an array of continuing education workshops and courses on various spinal pathologies such as scoliosis and osteoporosis. Gwen is also a published author. North Atlantic Books, a subsidiary of Penguin Publishing will release Gwen’s book, Safe Movement for All Spines, A guide to spinal anatomy and how to work with 21 spine and hip conditions in the spring of 2023. | |||
| George Tingo ~ Are you an Entrepreneur? | 23 Aug 2022 | 00:47:30 | |
Entrepreneurship. What is that exactly? And what does it have to do with the Pilates Method? | |||
| Nancy Chin ~ Owner, Pilates Avenue Los Gatos, Full hip replacement | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:32:37 | |
Our guest today is Nancy Chin, owner of Pilates Avenue Los Gatos in the city of Los Gatos, California. She is a graduate of the Vintage Pilates program called, The Work. Last summer, Nancy had a life changing experience that impacted her own Pilates practice and gave her an entirely new understanding of the body - especially, the pelvic region. After many years of dealing with an extremely painful hip, Nancy decided to have her hip replaced. I’m not sure if there are statistics that show the number of Pilates instructors who have hip replacements, but I thought Nancy would be the perfect person to take us through the surgery, the post surgical phase and if the Pilates method had assisted in recovering her balance, strength and mobility. | |||
| Christina Gadar ~ Open Access Pilates Archives | 26 Jul 2022 | 01:04:19 | |
If someone wants to learn the Pilates method, he or she most likely will sign up for a classical or modern Pilates class. However, before there was classical or modern, there was just Joe’s method that he called Contrology, but for some his work is also referred to as “Archival Pilates.” This term means that Joe’s exercises are taught and practiced exactly as he documented and demonstrated. But does anyone “own” these archival exercises? Well, no, they do not. If someone were to search out a studio that offers archival Pilates lessons taught on replicas of Joe’s apparatus designs, they might find a Pilates teacher like Christina Gadar, our guest today. Christina is a Second generation Pilates instructor who not only teaches Joe’s work at her own space, Gadar Pilates in Sarasota, Florida, but after almost two years of research has created an online educational platform called, Open Access Pilates Archives. It’s her mission to introduce Joe’s original work to Pilates teachers and enthusiasts by demonstrating the archival method and she also includes her own notations. Christina is the author of six books and the creator of the Pilates Animals Workout for children. | |||
| Elena Bartley ~ Latin American Pilates Educator/Former soloist for Dance Theatre of Harlem | 16 Jul 2024 | 00:55:57 | |
In the 1980’s, Elena Bartley our guest today was a company member of Dance Theater of Harlem, the most prestigious black ballet dance company in the world. As fortune would have it, Elena learned about the Contrology System AKA Pilates, from the company’s executive director, Kathy Grant who was as many of you know, a disciple of Joe Pilates. After spending two decades as one of the company’s soloists, Elena transitioned to teaching Pilates and brought with her a dancer’s eye for detail and a passion for movement. She also studied with other first generation teachers, Ron Fletcher, Eve Gentry, Jay Grimes and Romana Kryzanowska who all informed Elena’s teaching. | |||
| Gordon Firemark ~ Copyright Attorney | 12 Jul 2022 | 00:38:09 | |
As many of you know, there is an aspect of the Pilates industry that involves law suits about intellectual property, copyrights, trademarks, patents and public domain. I thought it important for all of us to learn about these legal terms because so many of us teach online as well as in person and may not be aware of how to protect ourselves. | |||
| Eva Rincke ~ Author, The Joseph Pilates Biography (Part Two) | 28 Jun 2022 | 00:54:47 | |

If you recall, in Part one Eva shared her research of Joe during his childhood all the way through to his internment on the Isle of Man. Today, Eva will talk about Joe Pilates’ new life in America. | |||

| Alison Jones ~ Curator, Knockaloe Visitor Center, Isle of Man | 31 May 2022 | 00:38:07 | |
When Joseph Pilates was interned at Camp Knockaloe on the Isle of Man during WWI, little could he imagine that over a century later, a museum would be built very near where he was interned. The Knockaloe Visitor Center took almost ten years from its concept to its grand opening in 2019. At the helm of this visionary project is our guest today, Alison Jones. Although we know that Joe Pilates was interned at Camp Knocklaoe, there is a larger story here and Alison is going to share it with us. | |||
| Professor Mair Culbreth ~ University of Wisconsin, Neuro Pilates program | 17 May 2022 | 00:47:00 | |
When we think about people practicing the Pilates method or Contrology, most likely we imagine heathy bodies engaging their musculature and employing their minds to get the most out of each class. But what happens if the brain is impaired by disease or injury, is it possible for the body to still get the benefits of Pilates? | |||
| Eva Rincke ~ Author, The Joseph Pilates Biography (Part One) | 03 May 2022 | 00:58:09 | |
The Pilates book list is growing and in case you don’t have Eva Rincke’s biography on Joseph Pilates, I highly recommend it. | |||

| Anna Shaffer ~ Joe Pilates student/Pilates elder | 05 Apr 2022 | 01:00:18 | |
By now, many of you have watched the various archival footage online showing Joe Pilates and a handful of his students practicing his method. There is one very notable film clip of a young Anna Shaffer demonstrating ballet movements using an invention Joe developed he called the "Headdress." | |||

Welcome to the ALL THINGS PILATES Season Three highlight show. | |||

You know, maybe there is something to this idea of six degrees of separation. My guest today, Roberta Kirschenbaum and I and Joe Pilates walked the same streets in New York City and actually, climbed the same stairs in the now famed building, 939 8th Avenue. Without being aware of each other, Roberta and I both took dance classes on the second floor at Clark Center not knowing that on the same floor Joe Pilates once had his first and only Contrology gym. | |||
